The 2nd Amendment is an admittance by our founding fathers that any government which is allowed to go unchecked will eventually turn to fascism/dictatorship. The 2nd Amendment is about encouraging the protection of the Constitution and Bill of Rights through armed revolution when the need arises.
It isn't an amendment to give people the right to bear a semi-automatic gun, as the NRA has made it out to be. By focusing on the sole aspect of owning a gun, the NRA has destroyed the real intention of the 2nd amendment; protecting our rights from a strong central government.
Any government that opposes its citizens being well armed is a great indicator of its desires to subjugate it's citizens. Furthermore, any limitation or restriction on the class of arms that a citizen is "allowed" to own is in direct violation to the Constitution. If I want to own a fully automatic rifle, who is the government to deny me? We have an entire set of laws which govern my actions if I infringe on others rights. If I rob a store with a bat, handgun or assault rifle, or for that matter drive a plan into a building, there are rules which govern that.
